New Ward Boundaries in May Elections

Major changes to ward boundaries have been brought about by population shifts over the past decade with the result that the number of councillors for Brighton & Hove has been drastically reduced.

From May 2003 there will be 54 councillors representing 21 wards - a reduction of 24 councillors and 5 wards. Amalgamation and boundary changes have resulted in name changes for some wards and, in some places, a reduction from 3 councillors per ward to two.
